Most people can't really comment on others because they don't know what they're actually like.
Actually, people around are more likely to know a person as well as or even better than they themselves know.
Certainly IRL, but it is very hard to comment in a forum.
Since when did not knowing prevent anyone from making comments anyway?

I guess you could also say that I'm like Aht from Radiant Historia 
*internet high five for someone else on here who has that game*
I would be most like Stocke. I don't say much IRL, and I don't show very much emotion, but I try to be nice by my actions.
Lol but the only emotion visible over the internet is rage quit, so you fit just fine here.

I will say I am Christian because there is plenty of evidence for God's love if you look with an open mind, and because existence without God or heaven seems to me rather short, brutal, and utterly meaningless, and I'll leave it at that. Further elaboration would only turn into another pointless argument.
Personally I have seen things that could lead to the BELIEF there is an all-powerful entity guarding us, but this doesn't mean I should accept it as empirical truth, because most of these aren't examined enough under the critical eye of reason, and there are also many things that can make MYSELF believe there is no such thing as a god as the Bible presents it.
FIFY Besides, that god you claim to exist should know that he should present itself unambiguously to humanity, if he is well-intentioned. I have not seen any irrefutable proof of God existing. Free will unfortunately must come with this ambiguity, to present himself to humanity further than through his book will eliminate free will. And you do not think that with an open mind, you can see existence without god or heaven as something different from being short, brutal and meaningless ?
Short ? We're improving on that. Besides, biological immortality exists. Though it is certainly for very simple organisms, and it's sure going to be VERY HARD to reach, maybe we can reach that one day. You can prevent aging, but you cannot be immortal. A risk of dying for reasons outside of aging will always exist. Brutal, not necessarily, as frezal said. Maybe we just happen to live a very sheltered life. Even then, none of us can avoid death eventually. And meaningless... you deny the right of godless or heavenless human beings to give meaning to their life ? Or you do not accept an individual's right to give an individual meaning to it's life, accepting only the notion of meaning of life if they are shared by a large community, such as the whole of a religion ? That seems pretty gloomy and even tyrannical to me. Actually without an external authority life itself cannot have a meaning because meaning requires interpretation, which requires life. Meaning happens during each episode in life where sentient being reflects on itself subjectively. Also, to claim individual has "rights" requires external authority. Without relying on God such "rights" will deteriorate into the law of each solvent states and it's culture. We just happen to live in one where individualism is popularized, and encouraged by consumerism. Plenty of regime in this world today still do not offer their citizens the kind of "rights" westerners come to expect. Their meaning and purpose are forced and any deviants will be lock up or killed. Also, this is not a pointless argument. This is about the nature of existence itself ! As you say that it is a pointless argument, you sound like you want to avoid a religion argument.
I find arguing over this topic quite pointless, since I don't have the arrogance to claim that I know about the nature of existence itself. However the method of "faith" consistently fails in finding truth for just about everything thus far, so I am comfortable with calling bogus for all things determined with such method.

Precisely why I'm a theist. But all religions have those restraints on them that makes them all look really rather stupid if you take a step back from them. Which is why I don't really follow a proper religion, though me and Suzume used to have fun with his made up Pseudoshintotheism and he'd make up some really silly rule that we'd follow for a day and then ditch

Now why is MNB defending the Bible; I wouldn't have pegged him for a Christian. Just playing devil's advocate? (Or God's advocate, as I suppose it would be in this case.)
Also arguing about religion is pointless. We're all too set in our beliefs to be convinced one way or the other from posts on an internet forum.

Most people argue about religion not to convince others to believe, but just to erase contradictory evidences such that they can continue believing in it themselves. Argument never works in convince the opposing side anything.

Buddhism is a lenient religion, they give guidelines rather than rules, and don't pester you about random crap.
But if you don't follow said "guidelines", you won't reach nirvana.

I don't consider Buddhism a religion. I consider it a lifestyle. As a general rule, religions have to have some belief about the world in general (and this normally results in a god), otherwise you're just following a different way of life.
Buddhism certainly has it's own sets of supernatural beliefs which puts it in the category of religion. They just rely on the Karma and Reincarnation rather than God to lay down the moral judgments. It is run by the same trick, reward and punishment by supernatural forces. And for an extra kicker, Buddhism also believe in heaven and hell. Doesn't look very fat to me

You do realize that is Budai and not Gautama Buddha right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budai

Maybe 123's talking about the Old Testament ? As I remember, God was pretty damn violent (not that there's anything wrong with that) back then.
Every part other than the life of Jesus pretty much. Which includes old Testament and half of the New Testament. To say they are "hateful and violent prone" is really an understatement. Followers who take those parts literally also shown "hateful and violent prone" traits. As for intuitively immoral, that is based on the harms principle. You can always argue for other forms of moral system, but so far the only argument that came out is "divine will" which actually requires at least heaven and hell to be taken literally. If you just read the Jesus part, that's not so bad. Not take the bible literally is the worst attempt to save a religion that claims to know the truth about everything. What the Bible teaches are so hateful, violent prone, and intuitively immoral, that it can only be justify by being the literal truth.
I don't know how anyone can swallow the oppressive teachings without believing in the literal truth of heaven and hell.
There's nothing oppressive or immoral about the Bible. That you would even say such a thing proves that you understand little to nothing about it. And of course it's the literal and absolute truth. To say anything else is preposterous.
To be precise, it doesn't matter what I draw out of it since I neither believe nor follow it. What does matter is the huge among of hates and violence among those who does follows it. They can certainly find passages in the Bible that justify their behaviors.
